This is so cool!
Many of you seem to be questioning the factor of weather. “heavy persistent downpour”-I’m sure that the designers of this garage have made it weather proof. I wouldn’t be so persnickety about these things. And either way, Toxel is a design website, not a website devoted to things meant to be more conventional than normal.

@ AAAAAAAAA - the garage is most likely operated by a modern invention we like to call a remote, which would work inside or outside the ‘garage’. It’s not like you would get out and press a switch on the outside…

Also, the car is quite tight inside the garage. You’d better hope you’re a pretty accurate driver or the front / back of your car may end up being crushed by the hydraulics. Also, you’d hope they did longer garages in case you wanted a larger car, say, a Mustang?

why not design it so that lifts down to form a ramp into the underground garage? I’d think it’d be cheaper and easier to maintain due to fewer parts, plus it would open up the possibility of using your basement as your garage.
of course, if you did that then you wouldn’t be able to use this as an elevator to your roof the way you can now ; )
